HAMILTON-based principal contractor Procast Group has completed the initial phases of the transformation of the derelict Greenfield House in Alloa.
The firm revealed it has started the restoration of the manor house in Clackmannanshire in earnest, delivering the £1 million, 13-month council contract on time and on budget.
Working with Clackmannanshire Council, Procast has delivered phases one and two to make the historic building – which is located within Greenfield Park – wind and watertight. This involved remedial work to the roof, glazing and gutters to begin the process of bringing the building back to its former glory.
Work to eliminate damp and dry rot was also carried out alongside plaster repairs, traditional joinery, structural stonework, slating and leadwork, brickwork and lintels, and some decoration.
The building, which has been empty for eight years, is still to have its final use decided by the council.
Derek Innes, owner and MD of Procast Group, said, “We are delighted to have completed this initial phase of work on this fantastic heritage building, which has stood in the centre of Alloa for more than 130 years. Our hope is to be part of the journey to restoring this stunning manor house to past glories and, by completing phase one, we believe we have taken a huge stride forward to achieving that.
“Hopefully, we are able to continue with the works as a use is determined, to allow this cultural landmark back up to scratch and maintain its prominence in the town for another century.”
